Whistler Gay Weddings

Planning the most momentous day of your life is not something we take lightly. Since same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, the open arms and accepting vibe of Whistler have put it on the map as one of the premiere locations for gay elopement, as well as planned ceremonies. LGBTQ sports enthusiasts, gay travel enthusiasts, and same-sex outdoors enthusiasts have flocked to the resort town, making Whistler same-sex marriage central. If you are planning to get married, check out what an extraordinary experience a Whistler same-sex wedding can be, for you and all your guests.

In order to be TAG Approved®, properties enforce non-discriminatory policies including sexual orientation and treat heterosexual and domestic partners equally in personnel policies; they provide diversity and sensitivity training for employees and employ staff that reflect the diversity of the community, including gay and lesbian employees in all levels of employment. Customers and employees are empowered to be “watchdogs” of its gay and lesbian business practices. TAG (Travel Alternatives Group) is an initiative of Community Marketing in San Francisco, approving hotels based on recognized gay-friendly standards and criteria.
